Raw edge applique, trapunto and hand beading through the tail, I loved making this quilt and was rewarded with a first prize and a best of show ribbon at the Perth Royal Show! All the materials are 100% cotton including the wadding. I drafted the pattern from a photo of a stained glass window made by some talented Australians.</p>All Directions Homehttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/620048.aspxWed, 19 Mar 2014 04:51:14 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:620048Megan Byrne1<p>I&#39;ve been experimenting with thread painting as a quilting element. This quilt made of all solid coloured 100% cotton fabric and cotton wadding used needleturn applique in the compass centre and directions, thread painting of Australian animals and birds, bounding Kangaroos in the border with native turtles and starfish and right up in the corner a little map of Australia. The compass points are from Farm Girl Quilts by Tammy Johnson and Avis Shirer. The animals and bird are my own drawings</p>Leafy greenshttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/610265.aspxFri, 31 Jan 2014 02:15:07 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:610265Megan Byrne6<p>I have been exploring stained glass applique lately.

She loves pink and she loves tulips. Its 18 1/2 inches wide x 41 inches long. I used 100% cotton fabric and wadding, drew the design onto the fabric and painted it using inktense pencils. I quilted it with various polyester threads for their shineyness. It was very fun.</p>Sweetly Bakedhttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/561130.aspxFri, 16 Aug 2013 09:21:10 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:561130Megan Byrne2<p>This lovely applique quilt is from a pattern by Verna Mosquera called princess tea party. It&#39;s constructed from 100% cotton fabric and batting, hand appliqued, machine pieced and free motion quilted with various threads including metallics. I added sashing to the quilt. My daughter sells her freshly baked goodies at the local markets and I made it for her as a backdrop for her market stall. She loves it.</p>Soekie's quilthttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/544903.aspxSat, 08 Jun 2013 08:29:42 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:544903Megan Byrne3<p>My friend Soeki asked for a quilt for her mother who lives in South Africa, that she could take home with her. I thought it had to be Australian so I used a pattern from Helen Godden (which can be found in Australian Quilters Companion no 46). I made the pattern bigger and added some different elements. I quilted the river through the middle and the swans around the border as well as some eucalyptus leaves. Now its Western Australian! All the fabric is 100% cotton and I used a cotton batting.</p>Boys toyshttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/531501.aspxTue, 16 Apr 2013 14:57:04 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:531501Megan Byrne2<p>This is an original design.

The wadding is bamboo, very soft and a dream to quilt. I used DMC stranded embroidery threads for the lettering and polyester thread for the quilting.</p>12 days of christmashttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/462589.aspxWed, 21 Nov 2012 12:32:57 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:462589Megan Byrne9<p>This quilt is from the Quiltmaker collection pattern &quot;12 Days of Christmas&quot;.

I made the brick wall thinking to put graffiti on it, something wild and urban, but I saw my wisteria flowering on my verandah and wisteria wall it became. Sometimes i think quilts make themselves! All the fabrics are 100% cotton, raw edged appliqued on my machine (for the first time!), various threads and the wadding is a thin iron on type I wanted to try.</p>Zen stitchinghttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/426177.aspxSun, 16 Sep 2012 06:09:49 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:426177Megan Byrne7<p>Another example of the effects with zentangle.</p>Zen stitchinghttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/426175.aspxSun, 16 Sep 2012 06:07:49 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:426175Megan Byrne4<p>I was exploring the concept of zentangle as a design element in itself. I used 100% cotton fabric, batting and a contrasting thread for definition</p>Squareshttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/398368.aspxFri, 13 Jul 2012 05:46:28 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:398368Megan Byrne3<p>I chose the brown and cream spotted fabric first thinking of making something with an irish chain design, then i was given some modern prints and the quilt turned into this. I quilted some feathers around each square.</p>
